Should poker be an Olympic sport?

[uptrendfinancialsignal]

People compare poker to chess. It requires skill, mental endurance and discipline. But Olympic committee and gambling are two different things. Poker deserves respect as a skill game, yes butI don’t see the Olympics accepting it anytime soon. Some ideas sound good in theory but in reality it's totally different..

I don't consider poker or chess a sport, so no. They're both just competitive games.

Poker is a game that needs a lot of thinking. If we look at it critically, Poker might be a very good option for Olympics but with a trophy involved instead of money. More people will definitely want to play Poker .

Personally, I wouldn’t be against poker being an Olympic sport. At the highest level, it’s a game of skills that combines math and decision-making, and all of it matters way more than just luck.
